"Music education is unifying, it is transformative, and it is essential. Music classes and ensembles are one of the few places where making mistakes is encouraged and students find they can truly be themselves. No matter the skill level, background, or ability, I firmly believe anyone can make and benefit from music, which is why I have dedicated my life to being an advocate for the arts and a music educator."
